Not sure I can truly express my sadness at the passing of Bob. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Bob's family and friends. I sure will miss his sense of humor and random messages just to check in. Bob, if you could say hello to Les and give my brother a big hug, I sure would appreciate it. See ya when I get there, my friend, save me a good seat at the game.

I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing. While at DOL, he was always kind, knew his stuff and always had a good sense of humor. RIP Bob!!

I knew Bob when we both worked at DOL. He was very knowledgeable and had a real concern for the UI claimants who were served by the Albany Local Office. He taught me a lot about the UI program.
Deepest sympathy to all his family.

Sincerely, Bob Elie

I am so sorry to hear that Bob has passed away. He was a good friend , especially during our years working together at DOL. We were both Yankee fans and did a few trips to spring training games together. He was a good guy who will be missed for his good nature and sense of humor. We will miss you Bobby. My condolences to the Talbot family.
